Chart Import

This page explains how to import charts.

Press F2 to import charts in any of the supported formats: .xml, .dyn, .dy, or .osu.

Warning

All chart import operations are irreversible. Please back up your project as needed before proceeding.

Merging Charts

You can use this function to merge multiple charts without worrying about different BPM settings.

Although we recommend that all charts have the same BPM before merging for easier post-merge editing.

About Dynamaker-modified

DyNode fully supports importing charts in the Dynamaker-modified format.

About Early Versions of Dynamaker Charts

DyNode currently cannot directly read early versions of Dynamaker chart formats.

If you encounter related warnings, try importing the chart into the latest Dynamaker-modified first, then re-export and import it into DyNode.

Importing .xml/.dy Charts When Creating a Project

In addition to using F2 to import .xml/.dy charts, you can also choose to import a chart file when creating a project.

When using this option, the imported chart information will overwrite the other information you filled in for the new project.

If the imported chart is in .dy format, you do not need to specify a music file.

About the .dy Format

The .dy chart format stores chart-related files (music, background, etc.) in Base64.

Importing .osu Charts

You can use F2 to import .osu charts.

The import mode supports the four basic modes included in the osu! format, with special adjustments for osu!mania. This means you can use DyNode to convert osu!mania charts. The imported information can include all Timing Points, but it will not include the chart’s metadata (such as title or music).

DyNode does not currently support importing .osz files, as an .osz contains multiple difficulty levels. You can unzip an .osz file (since it is a compressed archive) and then import the included .osu file.
